Patented Oct. 4, 1932 4 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE AARON GOLDSCHLAGER AND ISIDOBE BAZE, or BROOKLYN, NEW YORK BREAD MOLDING DEVICE Application filed April 1, 1932. 'Serial No. 602,438.

The invention relates to molds for form- 'ing dough into loavesbefore baking them. A large demand exists for so-called sandwich loaves. r, other restaurants in which these loaves are mainly used is to slice them on a machine, and it is expected that each loaf will yield a certain number of slices and thatas little waste as'possible, in the shape of end crusts, will In be incurred in the slicing. For these reasons it is highly desirable that such loaves be made ofexact lengths and with square ends. The present invention has for its main object to provide a device with which these 15 results may be obtained. Another object is to provide a device of simple, strong and sanitary construction which can be manufactured at low cost. 1

These and various other objects and ad- 3:) vantages will be readily understood from the following descriptionand'from the accompanying drawing of a preferred embodiment of the invention in which, however, certain modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the appended claims.

' In the drawing Fig. 1 is a plan view of the mold shown open and empty,

- Fig. 2 is a side View of Fig. 1, no Fig. 3 aside view showing the mold filled with dough, and 1 Fig. 4 an end view taken on line 4-4 in Fig. 3.

Referring 35 consists of a rectangular bottom plate 10, to which an end board 11 is rigidly secured, I two side mem'bers 12 and 13, and an end member 14. The side and end members are hinged tothe bottom board and the side 5 strip against the part of the strip which con- The custom of cafeterias and now to all the views, the device tacts with the end board 11. The canvas strip is lifted up on the other side of the dough and folded back so as to form a twoplypartition 19 between the first piece of dough and the second piece to be inserted. This is repeated until the mold is full after which the end member 14 is closed. In closing this member all the pieces of dough are pressed and shaped properly. The ends 20 of the dough are squared by the closing of the side members 12 and 13. The hinged members are all provided with some suitable means for maintaining them in their closed position.

When the molded dough is to be removed, the hinged members are lowered and the canvas strip is pulled out of the mold, thus separating the loaves so that they may be easily handled.

From the foregoing it will be seen that the device is of simple construction and easy to operate, and that it will effectively perform its work.

Having described our invention and its operatlon, what we claim as new and WlSll to protect by Letters Patent is:

vidual pieces of dough to be molded.

2. A bread mold comprising; a bottom plate; an end plate rigidly secured to the bottom plate; side plates hinged to the bottom plate; another end plate hinged to the bottom plate; and a fabric strip, longer than but of substantially the same width as the .mold, secured at one end to the rigid end plate; and a handle member secured at the free end of the strip.
